Villaraigosa Lakers Controversy: Mayor To Attend Lakers Playoff Game ‘In Official Capacity’
Despite the questions surrounding the legality of Mayor Villaraigosa’s acceptance of Lakers play-off tickets, and his subsequent “voluntary contact” with ethics officials on the matter, he has made it clear that he plans to attend tonight’s game one against the Celtics. Villaraigosa claims he will be attending the game in an official capacity, as he will be meeting with NBA commissioner David Stern. By this logic, the tickets do not need to be declared gifts that would have to be reported by law. The LA Times quotes the mayor: “I am going to the Lakers game tonight,” Villaraigosa said. “And I’ve made it very clear, as I understand the rules and regulations, it is not a reportable gift when I am in an official capacity. I will be going tonight in an official capacity.” Some are not sold on the Mayor’s reasoning. LA Biz Observed’s Mark Lacter rips into Villaraigosa: So answer me this: Why exactly is it necessary for him to attend tonight’s game– Is there anything in the City Charter that makes his presence necessary– If, say, he came down with the flu and had to stay home, would the game be called off– Kind of doubt it.
